So I came across an awesome article on “The Seinfeld Strategy”, based on one of the most successful comedians of our time, Jerry Seinfeld, and felt compelled to share. You can read more about it on this site:

One of the reasons why Jerry Seinfeld was able to establish himself as one of the funniest comedians of his time was because he applied one fundamental to his everyday life, and that was “Not breaking the chain”!!

And “Not breaking the chain” doesn’t only have to apply to comedians; it could also apply to CEO’s, serial entrepreneurs, and anybody wanting to lead a more wholesome life. What exactly does “Not breaking the chain” mean?

It means staying consistent and motivated. This is achieved by purchasing a calendar and ‘x’ing’ out the days you were performing your task. At the same time, it also means to pick one simple task at a time and to convert that task into something actionable, meaning that it must provide you with the outcome that you’d like!

And so if you’re hungry for success in your business or in your professional endeavors. Avoid doing this:

I encourage everyone to read the above article, and to tell me what your thoughts are in the comments below. Do you have a personal strategy that you’ve adopted into your everyday life? If so, I’d like to hear about it.

This is advice that I actually churned out on my own. What can I say, I have a knack for words. And this piece of wisdom does carry a lot of weight and common sense if you observe closely. A lot of us get into that 9 – 5 routine not willing to plunge into risks which could be what we’re truly passionate about. Some of us are just wired that way like me for instance. I cannot accomplish a task unless I’m truly passionate about it or it’s mandated to be done. When we engage in jobs or activities we are not passionate about, they become nothing but energy drainers. Well I say that we figure out what these energy drainers are and flush them down the toilet because if you’re interested in achieving success in life whether it’s in your professional life or personal life, then you need to participate in activities that bring out your natural abilities.

I worked as a fundraiser and as a timeshare salesman for several years and a one crucial lesson I learned was you must be passionate about what you are selling or what you are trying to raise funds for. Both activities constitute a business activity and whenever you engage in a business activity you must be passionate about it considering all of those long hours you will have to put in maintaining and growing your business. The other lesson that I learned was persistence. Sales is the lifeblood of any business so if you want an intact business at the end of the day you will have to be persistent in generating as much sales as possible!

Going back to the topic of passion. I feel that you must constantly speculate your passion, figuring out what makes you truly happy or truly tick, and go after it with all you’re muscle. Passion is what keeps us going in this world. What’s your passion?
